We’ve searched the culinary globe to curate an eclectic mix of cookery holidays that are as magnificent as the people that go on them and the Chefs who host them.

Chefs who inspire. Chefs with Michelin Stars. Home cooks who teach skills passed down from generation to generation. Chefs with a passion to share and a story to tell.

Sample delectable dishes from France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Thailand. The more adventurous wannabe cooks out there might be tempted by the taste of a cooking holiday in Turkey, Portugal, India or even Russia.

Go, take in every sight, sound and smell, like a greedy child. This is what cookery holidays should taste like.

Who are our cooking holiday guests?

Solo travellers. Friends. Couples. Those with enthusiasm and a love of local, seasonal food. Beginners who struggle to boil an egg to more advanced cooks. The culinary-minded who love to learn. Those partial to a good glass of wine (or three). People of all ages and nationalities who refuse to be boxed in.

Is this you? It looks like you.

Thousands of people have already discovered that our cookery holidays last a lifetime. Come and join them.

What do our guests think?

It’s not the done thing to boast. So you won’t find us crowing about how amazing our Chefs are. Nor how good our service is, or the fact that the accommodation is wonderfully comfortable and characterful, the food delicious and the wines delectable. Mum’s the word. We prefer to let our guests do the talking.

This was one of the most incredible trips I've ever had. David was wonderful and so knowledgeable, the food was the best I've had in France and the accommodations were picturesque. This is a trip that you don't want to skip! T Chatfield, UK: Dessert making weekend, France

We had a fantastic time. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We really felt part of Tuscan life and had fantastic advice of local places to visit and excellent restaurant/cafe recommendations. We loved the cooking and wine tasting and have brought back with us a wealth of knowledge we plan to share with others. Plus we'll be doing plenty of cooking for all our friends and family. Fantastic trip! C Punter, UK: Tuscany cooking and wine holiday in Tuscany, Italy
